Hard inheritance is the exact opposite of soft inheritance in that it states that characteristics of an organism's offspring (passed on through DNA) will not be affected by the actions that the parental organism performs during its lifetime. For example: a midieval blacksmith who uses only his right arm to forge steel will not birth a son with a stronger right arm than left because the blacksmith's actions do not alter his genetic code.
